Does it all evaporate out? Say if i add 10oz, how much remains?
Wondering for shrinkage reasons. Thanks.
Just using 10oz as a round number for ease of percent evap.
I'm spraying my 91 caddy trunk lid. After base & first coat of clear, i'm wanting to try a one & done flood coat.
It's tarped good, let the drips fall where they may. Reduce psi & soak it like water bottle. No cloud of overspray.
I always cut & buff, perfected sanding runs how i spray lol.
Is it really that much different than adding reducer to your last coat?I love retarder in my last coat.

Yes, big difference, you can displace some of the reducer with the retarder so you're not thinning it more than normal.Is it really that much different than adding reducer to your last coat?
105 thinner and retarder were a necessity on a hot, humid, or rainy day, and man would it make some scratches swell from down deepit is retarder because it is way too hot to be called reducer . in the old days we would load up lacquer so hot we would melt stripes and make them sag even under many coats of clear. 1 oz per qrt should give you what you need. especially if you shoot early am .
I also tried the retarder method. Two coats of clear and then a third with 30% retarder added. This was the result:

In the first picture you can see a hint of what I believe is urethane wave from the heavy application. In the second picture the reflection of the ceiling light indicates a fairly flat surface.
